Re: 1968 C10 Stepside Restoration Project
So, I am about to undertake what will likely be the most difficult repair of this build. The area up under the dash leaves little room for working. I will need to cut out the bad metal and replace it with good metal. Cutting, prepping, welding, and grinding will undoubtedly be a challenge. Here is what I am facing:

Re: 1968 C10 Stepside Restoration Project
As you can see the damage is relatively close to the dash mounting bolts. My primary concern is cutting out the bad stuff without mauling the good areas directly adjacent to it. While I will be using a grinder and sawz-all, my worry is cutting too deep or too far.
Repairing using an old inner fender seems to be the best bet, the inner fender has significant curves built into it that would make creating patch panels a little easier. |

You may find it much easier to pull the dash to repair those sections
